Getting Started in Burbage
Beginning therapy can feel like a big step. You are welcome to get in touch for an initial conversation to see whether working together feels right for you.
Couples Therapy
Alongside individual counselling, I also work with couples, offering a calm, neutral space to work through communication difficulties, trust and disconnection, with honour for both partners' experience. My aim isn't to take sides, but to help you understand each other more clearly and work out, together, what you both need going forward.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if counselling is right for me?
People come to counselling for many reasons. You may be experiencing anxiety, trauma, grief, emotional overwhelm, or a sense of feeling stuck or disconnected. You do not need to have a clear understanding of what is “wrong” to begin therapy. An initial conversation can help explore whether counselling feels like the right support for you at this time.
Do I need to know what type of therapy I am looking for?
No. You do not need to decide on a particular type of therapy before getting in touch. Therapy at Place to Talk Therapies is trauma-informed and relational, meaning the work is shaped around you rather than a fixed method. Together, we can explore what feels most supportive for your needs, pace, and circumstances.
What happens in the first session?
The first session is an opportunity to begin getting to know each other and to explore what has brought you to counselling. You can share as much or as little as feels comfortable. There is no expectation to talk about anything before you are ready. The focus is on creating safety, understanding your experiences, and considering how therapy might support you moving forward.
